In the work, a new approach to constructing optimality conditions for degenerate smooth optimization problems with inequality constraints is proposed. The approach is based on the theory of p -regularity. A special case of degeneracy, when the first derivatives of some function-constraints are equal to zero up to some order, is considered. Optimality conditions for the general case of degeneracy with p = 2 are presented. Proposed constructions and optimality conditions are illustrated by an example. A general case of degeneracy is considered and optimality conditions for the case of p ≥ 2 are proposed.
